NAUGATUCK -- Naugatuck officials do not know if proposed municipal and school budgets will fail at referendum, but they are taking precautions just in case they do.

On Wednesday, Borough Clerk Nancy DiMeo said officials have set aside time for meetings that would be necessary to revise the budgets if they are turned down by voters at the July 29 referendum. That referendum, which was forced by petitioners, will be held from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the old train station, 195 Water St.

The first meeting if the budget fails will be held at 7 p.m. on July 31 at Town Hall. The budget hearing will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 4, at City Hill Middle School. And on Tuesday, Aug. 12, officials will meet at 6:30 p.m. at Town Hall to set the new budget and tax rate.

The budget would go back to referendum if residents petition again to force the second vote.
